Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0
Malicious cyber actors pose a relentless threat to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and the DoD supply chain. The DIB, comprising over 300,000 companies, is the backbone of our nation’s defense capabilities. These businesses are essential for research, development, and the sustainment of critical military systems. The theft of intellectual property and sensitive information from this sector not only undermines America’s technological edge but also jeopardizes national security.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework was developed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) in close collaboration with key stakeholders, including the DoD, University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and the Defense Industrial Base
(DIB).
Step Ahead is a vanguard in the cybersecurity revolution. As an active member of the Cyber AB-managed CMMC ecosystem, we’re driving CMMC adoption across both government and commercial realms.
Cybersecurity is the lifeblood of every business. A breach isn’t just a setback; it’s often a knockout, especially for small businesses. Recognizing this, Step Ahead has crafted innovative, affordable, and user-friendly solutions tailored specifically for the unique challenges faced by small enterprises. Acutis Cloud Enclave (ACE) is an innovative solution for SMB.
